Yes it is, but there are 2 different sizes. 1 to accommodate the air con pump and one for none air con models.

Great thanks! this one was the one that said aircon so that's the right one for me my belts looking abit worn is it something that really needs replacing and how often if so? cheers

I replaced mine after 70k miles, purely for piece of mind. Not sure if it was replaced by the previous owners. Its not a Cam Belt so if it snaps its not a motor killer.

Indeed not à disaster if it snaps...
But offcourse if it snaps you wont have engine damage or something but the waterpump and alternator also run off that belt so better safe then having it snap on you when your miles away from home

It's worth replacing the top pulley at the same time. I had to do the crank pulley too when I did mine - it was falling apart!
